A plurality of search-related keys are provided, such as an automatic dial key and a plurality of search-related keys used when searching, as well as numeric keys and alphanumeric keys for inputting information.

Next, before explaining the overall operation, the address book function means 100
This section explains the configuration and functions of .

The address book function means 100 updates the address book information in the address book data storage means 101 and the address book data storage means 101 that stores address book information including the called user's name, telephone number, and additional information. address book data updating means 110 having a function, and address book data searching means 120 having a function of searching address book information using a part of the name included in the address book information in the address book data storage means 101 as an index; Address book data display means 13 for displaying address book information
0, an address book data search command search information input means 140 that receives human power from a search key and issues a search command to the address book data search means 120, and an address book data search command search information input means 140 that commands registration update of address book information and allows entry of registration update information. It includes address book data update command update information input means 150, and previous data search means 160 and subsequent data search means 170, each having a function of searching address book information before and after the output address book information.

Next, the operation will be explained.

First, address book information registration update will be explained.

The user operates the update key to activate the address book data update command update information input means 150. The user then operates the numeric and alphanumeric keys to input information to be updated. Address book data update command update information input means 1
When the address book data updating means 110 receives the information to be activated and updated, it instructs the address book data updating means 110 to start updating, and takes over this information. The address book data updating means 110 accesses the address book data storage means 101, obtains location information on which location should be registered or which address book information should be updated, and upon receiving the location information, writes. command.

Next, address book information search will be explained.

The user operates the search key to activate address book data search command search information input means 140. The user then operates the numeric and alphanumeric keys to input the information to be searched. Address book data search command search information input means 1
When activated and receiving information to be searched, 40 issues a search command to address book data search means 120 and takes over this information. The address book data search means 120 is
Address book data storage means 101 using search information as a key
, collects the first address book information that satisfies the search information, and instructs the address book data display means 130 to display the collected address book information. When there is no address book information that satisfies the search information, the address book data storage means 101 outputs the address book information closest to the search information. Normally, alpha het order or the like is used to determine the perspective of the search information. Note that, among the collected address book information, the address book data searching means 120 is instructed in advance to send the telephone number to the address information holding means 210.
